In my own quest to temporarily avoid whatever ails me -- particularly if it's the day's new political drama -- I find a respite in a particular genre of television: teen dramas. Teen dramas like "Riverdale" have gradually found their footing, gaining critical acclaim and adoration by fans of all ages around the world. Teen dramas have a tendency to be over the top in their aim to surprise and delight viewers, and that's what makes them the perfect watching experience. When I watch television, I don't want the confusion that can often accompany character-driven dramas or the unrealistic antics of so-called reality TV. But at a time when we're always connected to the news around us and everything is moving at the pace of 4G, teen dramas are exactly what I need.
